This bread came out perfect. I had no problems with it being flat; it rose perfectly and looked like a picture. I did not have enough orange so I added tangerine peel to make the full tablespoon. It was very moist and not crumbly at all. The citrus added a wonderful overtone. I have this recipe in my box and this is the one I'll use when I make cranberry bread.

In response to Timkerbell: It sounds like the bread was not done. Try the toothpick test. When you think the bread is about done, put a toothpick in the center and pull it back out. There should be little to no crumbs on it. If it's gooey, then it's definitely not done. Adjust the temperature and baking time for your oven - ovens vary. I hope that helps.

At last-I've been looking for a good Cranberry Bread recipe and I finally found it! I had lemon peel instead of orange and and it still came out great. Oh-and I tented it with foil the last few minutes. No other changes. Thanks for sharing!

I've made this 5 times. It tastes great but it doesn't rise. It fact it falls in the middle. I have new baking powder and new soda. Have tried a metal pan, a glass pan, and a new Baker's secret pan. I don't overstir it. I did add 1/4 cup sugar, and used whole grain pastry flour instead of white flour. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Came out tasty but not as sweet as I would have liked. This could have been because we were out of orange juice so I had to squeeze my own from a couple of oranges that weren't overly sweet. Also, use a sharp knife to cut the bread otherwise it will crumble.

I've never made Cranberry Bread before but certainly plan to again. My husband and I loved it! Since he's not a berry fan I didn't even think he would try it and was so glad he did! It took me a while to "grate" the orange peel, since I don't own a zester. The orange and cranberry taste were a match made in heaven. I'm planning to purchase a zester since I know I will make this again and again. Thanks for a terrific recipe.
